Relating to chemical reactions that are caused by or produce electrical current.
From electro- (electricity) + chemical (relating to chemistry). The field of electrochemistry developed in the 18th-19th centuries as scientists studied the relationship between electricity and chemistry.
Batteries are electrochemical devices—the chemicals inside create electrical current, which is why a dead battery still has chemicals in it but can't produce electricity anymore; the chemical reactions have stopped.
